Plenty of historical figures have responded to conflict in many different ways, but the question is which is the best. Some may argue that it is to be defensive, but as shown by Anne Frank and Winston Churchill, that isn't true. The best way people can respond to conflict is by remaining calm, focused, and attempting to have a positive outlook on the situation because it can lead to many agreeable outcomes, it’s proven that it’s the most beneficial way to respond, and unhealthy responses can lead to unfavorable results.

Churchill believed that remaining focused and standing strong was the best response to the conflict of World War Two. Another author writes about Churchill's actions, “By tying the fate of Britain to that of the United States, Churchill gave his people confidence that the united power of two powerful nations would defeat Hitler even more swiftly” (Hart). Churchill concentrated on what was most important, and gave many individuals confidence. An example of someone who remained optimistic and calm during conflict would be Anne Frank, “Father, Mother, and Margot still can't get used to the chiming of the Westertoren clock, which tells us the time every quarter of an hour.
